London... V&A museum

Last week right after the AQSG seminar I met David in London. Gotta love those frequent flyer miles! We've been to London many times but this was a first, me joining him on a business trip.

I was on my own while he had meetings, and then we would meet up for dinner. We saw this wonderful, small, excellent, magical, intimate production of Romantics Anonymous. Awkwardness and love. Tiny theatre, massive talent, and delighted audience. It is based on this charming movie. A week later we are still talking about it. So, so good!

I had lazy mornings and then explored on my own in the afternoons. Loved walking from our hotel through Hyde Park, and then on to the V&A. I have a terrible - I mean, really absent - sense of direction, so the Citymapper App was my best friend!

amazing mending exhibit. I didn't know anything about this, but now I get wabi sabi. So neat! I love the description on the card about care and repair.I too had a solo afternoon at the V&A many years ago. We rented an apt. on Queens Gate. I love London - Luck you!

What a wonderful opportunity to explore London. I've never been there, but it's on my list. Love the darning and visual repair examples. Maybe instead of trying to hide those repairs we should follow these examples.

I saw, and enjoyed, the small exhibition of Celia Pym's work too. What struck me was her background as a nurse and the parallels that has with mending. Lovely exhibition at one of London's best museums!
